57* off 17 now, just smashed 2 sixes. He is so, so talented Hales. I am backing him to play International cricket at some point, called it last night. Been so impressed with what I've seen of him. We've got some quality young batsmen coming through ATM, just need to find some bowlers now.

50 up in 16 balls.

57 off 17 balls

 

[King Pietersen]

Still going; 67 off 22 now. Ridiculous strike rate of 304.54. What a player.

Bell's still going too. Currently 81* off 42 balls. Gilly is 94* for Middlesex as well, plenty of runs today!

 

[superkingdave]

Runs for Prior and Gilchrist as well.

We are subsiding at the moment, not been a good chase

 

[King Pietersen]

Hales gone. Finished with 69 from 25 balls. Fine effort that.

 

[Pothas]

Anyone watching the Hampshire game? (have been watching world cup) How has Wood bowled?, had done very well so far this year.

 

[King Pietersen]

I've got it on record, planning on watching it once the football's finished. Looks like we're going pretty well! Hopefully Lumb'll guide us to victory with the bat, he could do with a few runs.

 

[King Pietersen]

Lumb gone. The worst possible pitch to play on when out of form. Had 2 that zipped up on him, 1 hitting him on the forearm, and then the wicket taking delivery kept very low at 90mph taking out Lumb's off-stump. Hard on Lumb really, as there wasn't much he could do against it, especially considering a similar length delivery had previously rapped him on the forearm. Not nice conditions for T20 cricket out there. Sky really haven't had much luck, almost every game shown has been dominated by the ball.

Lumb gone. almost every game shown has been dominated by the ball.

Oh yeah, wanted to see Sussex' smashing it away.

 

[King Pietersen]

Bad pitch, but this has been mindless cricket in the last few overs. Adams batted beautifully, but then chucked his wicket away, McKenzie played a nothing shot, Christian was fairly lazy but was undone by some fantastic work from Pollard and now it looks like Cork's been run out too. Awful stuff. Need the young lads to do the business now.

 

[King Pietersen]

FFS. Thomas picks up Wood and we're down to our last 2 batsmen, with 8 needed from 7. We really should have walked this. 5/4 in the last 15 balls, pathetic.

 

[grecian]

Easy

 

[King Pietersen]

That is ridiculous. Lost 6 wickets for 4 runs from the last 18 deliveries. Pathetic. How on earth did we manage to bollocks that up? Hilarious that only 1 batsman managed double figures too, awful. Good effort from Somerset at the end though, Pollard and Thomas were magnificent. Any chance of us stealing Thomas? Best death bowler in England AFAIC.

 

[grecian]

Was nice to have a 'keeper under that catch, he did make it look very easy. Adams has to win MOM though doesn't he?

 

[Pothas]

God that sounds like it was dire.

Lumb can **** off as far as I am concerned though.

 

[King Pietersen]

Lumb was very unlucky TBF. Not a lot he could do out there. Got one that jumped up and hit him on the body and then a ball on a very similar length zip through keeping low, wasn't much he could do TBH. Would like to see him making a few runs soon though, has been very poor since he came back from the WC.

 

[WorcsRoyal]

We are absolute ****e. Yorkshire victory was a fluke.
